    Type 1 Blood glucose and a cold

    I am type 1 and yes being sick can affect your blood sugar levels, it happens to me, the best advice I can give is keep an eye on your levels by checking them more often. I know what it’s like to be newly diagnoised nearly 3 years now and I’m still getting use to it. Good luck :)

    Type 1 Can, actually, a yeast infection cause Diabetes?

    It took a year and a half before I was told I had type 1, I had the fungal infection which went on for a long while, but you don’t associated that with diabetes until you are diagnosed.
